Least of burden

Two things.
1. How is she balancing that thing on her head?
2. How?

An abrupt pause

Every time i come across a pair of perfectly fine yet misplaced footwear like these, i wonder how abandoned they must feel like. If one of them was lost or something, it'd have made sense because that happens quite a lot of time. However, seeing two chalable footgear is a bit unsettling. Both are there and yet they can't go anywhere.
